In the 1990's it was public universities. In the 2000's it was the media outlets. In 2010's it was social media. In 2020 it was the boardrooms of our institutions.

Where government goes to be cancer.

Go woke, go broke, get bailed out by leftist Dems.

Unfortunately, it's usually the tax payers who end up bailing these banks out.

Just looking at their website you wouldn’t even think it was a bank. And they certainly aren’t concerned abut YOUR money.

If a bank in Houston that primarily serviced the oil & gas industry and that had lots of uninsured deposits of Republican millionaires had failed who thinks that the Biden regime would have bailed out the depositors?

Like Amalgamated Bank? (As the New York Times said of Amalgamated, it is “the left’s private banker.” )

The far-left Turd Rollers love blaming these bank failures on Trump when they were actually O’Bama’s fault.
